There is something interesting that is happening in this season, now that the prices are relatively higher than the previous years; crypto folks are building something through their earnings. There is no better time to accomplish that but now, the bull market. It makes me feel like the year 2018 again.
In the years between 2018 & 2021, there are talks about crypto that it's going to be the end of it. There is too much FUD around the communities. As a result, it demotivates many of the participants to simply decline from participating and become disinterested in the future prospect of this platform. The users are posting less since they don't feel remunerated enough for their effort.
This kind of vibe is becoming lesser and the users are becoming more optimistic about the future. It's amazing how the price uptrend changes the views of the people.
Now that there is enough motivation to be active once again, I'm seeing new users participating and old-timers being active again. There's nothing wrong with that. I myself took some short breaks between those years of the downtrend to give myself some form of retreat and regenerate my motivation. It works for me and so I'm relatively active within this 4 years journey of mine. And I believe that I can pursue this activity in the many years to come.
There are so many things to talk about in the crypto space. One of the good ones is the inspirational success stories from users that made or making good earnings through investing their time & resources in crypto. What I think is that it applies to any platform. Anyone can achieve success regardless of the platform that they are participating with. All it takes is a consistent motivation to be successful in platforms like Hive, Steemit, Blurt, Read, Publish0x, and many more that I not aware of.
These blockchain-based social media platforms are good at one thing; that's to provide an opportunity to those who wanted it. The platforms that I mentioned don't require an upfront initial investment to participate. Of course, you will need to have a mobile phone or a computer with an internet connection in order to participate but that's basically it.
Is there a guaranteed success in these platforms?
Personally, I firmly believe that anyone can achieve success on these platforms. However, everyone also has all the reasons to fail... it's the never-ending excuses for being lazy not to participate. Another reason to fail is when a user believes that the earnings are not enough for the amount of effort that they exert in creating content and engaging with the community.
If you are not convinced that these platforms don't pay enough for your effort then head over to the trending pages and see for yourself the kinds of content or the users who are making a good amount of earnings. You will be surprised that although there is content that seems undeserving of their rewards there is also content that is truly deserving of their earnings. Also, it goes to show that being rewarded through these platforms is possible.
Ultimately, the message is that crypto is not for the elite or for the rich. The wide variety of projects have enough opportunity for everyone in the world.
The opportunity laid in front of us knows no boundaries. I've read success stories from many parts of the world that seems very challenging to reach without the use of cryptocurrencies.
